What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cmax

    Maximum drug concentration in plasma after dose administration for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  2. AUC(0-tn)

    AUC from time 0 to the last data point for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. AUC

    Area under the plasma concentration vs time curve from zero to infinity after single (first) dose for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  2. Cmax,norm

    Maximum drug concentration in plasma after dose administration divided by dose (mg) per kg body weight for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  3. AUCnorm

    Area under the curve divided by dose per kg body weight for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  4. AUC(0-48)

    AUC from time 0 to time 48 h for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  5. tmax

    Time to reach maximum drug concentration in plasma after single (first) dose for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  6. t½

    Half-life associated with the terminal slope for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  7. MRT

    Mean residence time for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  8. CL/f

    Total body clearance of drug from plasma calculated after oral administration (apparent oral clearance) for nifedipine and candesartan

    Measured: Within 48 hours after each treatment

  9. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Approximately 3.5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nifedipine-candesartan FDC (BAY 98-7106), Nifedipine GITS (Adalat LA, BAYA1040) and Candesartan (Atacand) in people with Hypertension, Essential, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cmax (time frame: Within 48 hours after each treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01227603, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2015.
